Meet the team behind WelcomeDesk

Experience

Connor comes to WelcomeDesk from a career in facilities engineering and site operations, keeping complex, high-stakes buildings running safely and efficiently. Most recently he has led engineering, safety and security for a large residential learning-and-retreat campus, and before that ran his own facilities-engineering practice, designing and commissioning utility and process systems for advanced-manufacturing sites across the Western US.

Earlier roles took him through semiconductor manufacturing, where he validated and ran the infrastructure behind a chip fab; aerospace and drone technology, leading facilities for a high-tech campus and its test sites; and hospitality estate management. He also spent a decade as a contract health and facilities officer on remote properties, responding to emergencies as an EMT. That mix of operations, safety-critical systems and a calm hand when something breaks is what he brings to running WelcomeDesk day to day.

Experience

Diego serves as a Linux and VMware administrator for the State of California, managing enterprise infrastructure across hybrid virtual environments. His expertise spans virtualisation, automation, and systems administration, developed through roles at VMware and several California state agencies.

That background in high-availability, enterprise-scale infrastructure directly shapes how WelcomeDesk is built: reliable, low-overhead, and designed to keep running when the network is being difficult.

Education

Experience

Chad has built his career in and around the built environment. Today he works in commercial real estate, managing property development projects from early planning through to on-site delivery, coordinating stakeholders, budgets and timelines, and keeping a close eye on the operational detail that makes a project land.

Before real estate, he spent several years in technical sales and account management for building life-safety systems (fire alarm, emergency communication and area-of-refuge systems across healthcare, commercial, federal and stadium projects), and began his career as an applications engineer in precision manufacturing. That blend of engineering rigour, safety-critical systems and client-facing sales is exactly what he brings to WelcomeDesk customers.
